Description
Explore Scientific Maksutov-Newton 152/731 David H.Levy Comet Hunter Optical Tube Assembly (OTA)
The Explore Scientific Maksutov-Newton 152/731 David H.Levy Comet Hunter is a sophisticated optical instrument that combines the best of Newtonian and Maksutov designs. This telescope features a parabolic mirror and a front-mounted meniscus lens, effectively reducing spherical aberrations and enhancing image quality.
This innovative configuration is highly regarded by astronomers for its reduced coma, astigmatism, and image curvature, offering an experience that rivals more expensive apochromatic systems.
The Maksutov-Newton telescope is an ideal choice for astrophotographers seeking exceptional contrast, edge sharpness, and a flat field. With a light factor of 5, it captures stunning images even with short exposure times, making it a more affordable yet powerful alternative to traditional systems.
